Ascension Sheriff's Office Getting Wired
The Advocate reports that the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office and the Gonzales Police Department have recently added laptops with remote access to their arsenal of crime fighting weapons. "Now, the officers can punch a license plate number or someone's driver's license number into the computer, and a complete history of the motorist pops up on the screen in a matter of milliseconds, [Chief Bill] Landry said." And for the cynical-minded, the article was sure to note that the officers won't be wasting time since there is no Internet access or card games on the computers.
